Chapter Fifteen

I had no idea how long it took for the police and ambulance to arrive. Everything was a blur. I heard words like ‘shock’ and ‘murder-suicide,’ but when people tried to speak to me, it was as if their mouths were just opening and closing with garbled noises coming out. I was in a daze, unable to see or hear anything clearly.

I was in disbelief over what had happened. Both my mother and Keith were pronounced dead on scene. When detectives tried to speak to me, I just stared at them. What would I say? That I killed Keith? I couldn’t even claim self-defense. I had murdered someone in cold blood. I tried to justify that it was deserved because he had killed my mother. But the way I had held my hand over his while holding the knife, swinging it down to pierce his stomach…what kind of monster was I? I would have never have thought I was capable of something so evil.

The only thing I could manage to tell police officers was that I had found both my mother and Keith stabbed and on the floor when I woke up from a nap. It was decided that I was in shock and needed a few days to be able to be questioned. The house was declared a crime scene. I was allowed to pack a small overnight bag, and told that I couldn’t re-enter the house until they were done processing it for evidence. I didn’t know what to do and where to go. The only person I could think of was Chloe, so I called her, trying to explain in a garbled mess what had happened through tears. But I told her the version I heard the police officers hypothesizing. That Keith had killed my mother and then committed suicide by stabbing himself. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her the truth. That I had murdered him.

Chloe was shocked and horrified by what I told her. She told me that I should go stay with her parents, and that she would call her mom and tell her what happened. I had a feeling that she wouldn’t have to tell her much, considering all the news trucks that were outside the house. The entire town of Hyattsville probably knew what had happened.

Chloe’s parents picked me up and took me to their house, their faces concerned and worried. But all I could think about was that my mom was dead. And I had killed Keith.

The next few weeks were a living nightmare. Chloe flew up from Florida to be with me. The police finally questioned me, and I continued the lie that Keith had killed himself after murdering my mother. I convinced myself that he deserved it. For whatever reason, he had brutally murdered my mother. He deserved worse than what he got.

I told the police loud noises had woken me up, and when I came downstairs, my mother and Keith had both already been stabbed. I knew
